<p>I don’t think anyone “knows” this. Personally I don’t think it means much at all because its so subjective. As long as you’re in the top it doesn’t matter. Also I’d assume since we pick teachers that like us, they won’t give us bad marks anyway so I’d think almost everyone would have pretty high marks even if its not extremely accurate. The only thing that might barely raise the validity of it is if you waive your right to see it because then at least the teacher can be a bit more truthful since they won’t be afraid to offend you. Even then though I’d imagine almost all will be in the higher range since the teacher will most likely want to help you not stop you from getting into college, so I really don’t think it matters at all, but again we’re not adcoms so we can’t really know and I’m sure different ones feel differently about them also.</p>
